Maybe a little rosemary and freshly ground black pepper? Yummy.

how to wash with baking soda?.................NO OILS!!!

I almost never use an ACV rinse, but I use a baking soda rinse 2-3 times a week. I don't have an itchy scalp or dandruff. I don't think it's necessary as long as you rinse. A water rinse will balance out the PH. Eye rinse stations and emergency showers run water in chemistry labs. Water works. It's also a chemically a very weak acid.The reaction is not necessary. The acid wash helps get your hair clean. The minor foaming action might help lift dirt, oils, and dead skin. But it's not necessary as long as you rinse well.

Hey Aileen,I imagine it depends on what kind of hair you have, but T&R does take a fair amount of time. I spent about 2 weeks doing my own. I got better at it as I went, so the front half took the most time.I tried getting my girlfriend to help, but I wasn't satisfied with the way the dreads she did came out. I ended up undoing hers and going it alone.If you're going to T&R, be careful that you "twist" enough randomness into the bunches. If you keep separating the same bunches, you end up with locks that look braided.Also, most of my T&R fell out. Only the last inch of knotting stayed, and then real dreading started beneath that. If you're going to go this route, understand that the purpose is to create an environment in which hair dreads easily, not to MAKE dreads. This album represents my 14 weeks of dreading, started with T&R. Aileen "The Gypsy" said:
Ok thank you. The method I had used before involved this. You alternate between backcombing and t&r then coat with a very light layer of wax and palm roll occasionally to help them lock up.
I'll try this after I dye my hair perhaps. Is it relatively time consuming? Would it go faster with a friend?

"Use responsibly" is the same cover-your-ass bullsnot he uses for his wax. People who are harmed are "addicted" to wax.

His other dreading tool is a latch hook--a craft tool for making carpet.

His BS statistics assume that you will only break the hairs causing squiggles. I don't think that's remotely possible.My questions were rhetoric. I just want to put him in a tough spot. I'm sure he doesn't want people to know he's selling an old tool with a new name.

Here's a good question to ask him on his Vlog:Would you say the Dread Docta is more or less harmful than using a felting needle?If he says it's less damaging, you can ask what the difference is.If he says they're the same, he's reducing demand for his own product.You could also ask how the Docta "releases" the hair causing squiggles. Won't breaking hairs weaken the dreadlock? Can the Docta be used without causing damage?These have to be multiple stage traps, like mothaF-Socrates. He's a slippery snakeoil slinger.

I didn't mean to imply that everyone was out of line! But the only ones that really stand out are the really angry ones. breeze said:
I responded to what was posted.......I think any company whether right or wrong should have to explain to the public why they have so many complaints.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of really weak arguing going on on the Youtube channel. Name calling. Unsupportable evidence. Silly little pot-shots at a guy who has been slinging wax for a decade. He knows how to handle little stuff like that.And because people watching these 'engagements' don't have any basis of understanding *why* Mr. Gutting is being attacked, SE and others look irrational--the kind of dogmatic, insensible people he says we are.You want to prove something, I can tell. But barking at him isn't going to prove what you want.

I just looked at that BBB link. I'm seeing 2 complaints, and nowhere on the page is the number 888. BBB looks like 888, so I'm worried someone misread.
